Night soon fell as many of the citizens of Jakku entered their sandy, poor huts. Alessia and Kaius left the tent and headed back towards the ship Kaius had recieved from an arms collector. Slightly rusted and discolored, it did the job getting from point A to point B.
"So what happens now? What do we do?" Alessia questioned, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
Kaius glanced over at her, raising a brow. "We do nothing. Our part was taken care of and now it's in the hands of the Resistance."
Alessia looked back at him, huffing.
This caused the brother to stop in his tracks and he folded his arms across his chest.
"What? You want to join them? Go up against the First Order? I can barely get you to shoot a blaster. The other day was the first time in months that you actually tried! And it was good! We are going home and continuing our lives how we always have."
"But-" Alessia interjected.
"No, no buts about it! I'm in charge. Im the one who has to make sure you make it day by day." Kaius raised his voice, causing his sister to become nervous and upset but holding back any tear that puddles up in her green eyes.
Seeing the sight of his younger sister struck Kaius. His expression softened and his head dropped as he turn back towards the path of the ship.
The eerily feeling of something bad is going to happen filled Alessia as the sudden 'woosh' of the First Order's ships landed. Within seconds the sound of blasters and screams rung through the village.
Their eyes widened as they glanced back behind them.
Fire.
Huts were burning down and citizens were being executed with no remorse.
The sight caused Alessia to panic.
"We have to go, now. Dont look back, we are almost there." Kaius pushed his sister forward as their pace quickened.
As soon as the pair took a few steps, troopers flooded in closer, preparing to fire at the surrounding area.
"Shit!" Kaius started sprinting as did Alessia.
The color red shot across the sky like strobe lights.
A large object caught her eye, nearly missed if it wasnt for her senses being on high alert.
"KAI! There! We have to get out of the area!"
The two took off to the object-a crashed cargo ship covered in sand, which by this time was suffocating the siblings and causing their throats to swell. It wasnt every day they were around so much sand, and they definitely didnt dress for the occasion, partly due to Kaius being hard headed and opting out of wearing a scarf.
Shots still rained across the dark sky and screams still rung out, as if it would never end.
Kaius squeezed his eyes shut and tried his best to plan out the safest way back to the ship. He had multiple types of weapons on him but it would be taking care of Alessia that worried him.
Suddenly, his eyes open and his hands cover his mouth, as if he was praying.
"Use your gift, Less."
